”The music is really starting to boil, when you listen to Stefan Pasborgs band Odessa ”X-tra Large” ! This band is playing some seriously exiting multi-jazz. The bodily and the imagination is the main focus, and you have to travel all the way back in time to Charles Mingus to find the same kind of energy… There is not so much more to say other than; when the musicians are having fun, as they so obviously have in this case, then the listener has as well.” – Politiken, DK

Stefan Pasborg’s band Odessa ”X-tra Large” features some of the finest musicians on the Nordic jazz scenes. Musicians that aren’t afraid to cross new musical land. Together they play some seriously exiting multi-jazz. The bodily and the imagination is the main focus, and you have to travel all the way back in time to Charles Mingus to find the same kind of energy. There is not so much more to say other than when the musicians are having fun, as they so obviously have in this case, then the listener has as well.

Received a Danish Music Award for the best ”Cross-over Release” in 2011..
